Find product information about medicines

Healthcare professionals and members of the public can use the MHRA products service using the link below to find:

You can search for any medicine to find details on how the medicine can be used (SPCs), patient information leaflets (PILs), and scientific reports (PARs).

A summary of product characteristics (SPC) is a description of a medicinal product’s properties and the conditions attached to its use. It explains how to use and prescribe a medicine. It is used by healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses and pharmacists.

Every medicine pack includes a patient information leaflet (PIL), which provides information on using the medicine safely. PILs are based on information in the SPC of the medicine.

A public assessment report (PAR) is available for new marketing authorisations granted after 30 October 2005. This is based on the MHRA assessment report with any commercially or personally confidential information removed.

The list of medicines under additional monitoring includes medicines authorised in the UK that are being monitored particularly closely by MHRA. Medicines under additional monitoring have a black inverted triangle displayed in their package leaflet and summary of product characteristics, together with a short sentence explaining what the triangle means.  

The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) and the MHRA encourages the reporting via the Yellow Card scheme of all suspected adverse reactions to medicines displaying the black triangle.
